Boat rental in Riec-sur-Belon · Cobramold — Leisure 17 (1975)
Description of Sweet's sailboat
Sailboat Cobramold Leisure 17 5.2m
Small sailboat with surprisingly spacious interior for its size. Sleeps 2 or 3 (two long mattresses are included for sleeping or cockpit comfort). Extremely easy to handle. Ideal for beginners or those looking for a responsive sailboat that feels close to the water. Equipped with a battery system with USB and cigarette lighter socket, recharged by a removable 50-watt solar panel (which can be moved depending on use or exposure). VHF radio, safety equipment. Nautical charts and 2025 almanac. Three headsails (genoa, jib, staysail) and one mainsail with a reefing point. 5hp Mariner 4-stroke outboard motor on a fuel tank. Very economical. Propeller positioned in line with the propeller shaft for excellent maneuverability. Twin keel for easy beaching, 0.70m draft. A kayak can be used as a tender upon request. Sailboat owned by the Sweet Pirate association in Riec. All profits go directly to the association's projects. Fair winds!

Overall rating
This sailboat is perfect for gaining confidence before moving on to larger and more expensive boats. Highly maneuverable and safe, it offers a wonderful sailing experience. On board, the comfort remains that of a boat from the 1970s: simple yet welcoming, the experience is reminiscent of a "nautical camping" feel. It's always nice for a few days of adventure, but it's true that we would have difficulty spending a week or more on it. Note: To fully enjoy the boat, it is recommended to have at least two people if you are not a sailing expert or do not know the boat well. Indeed, all the halyards are located at the mast (without a return to the cockpit), and since the mainsail is not on a slide, it must be manually assisted when raising and lowering. This makes the maneuver difficult to manage solo for a beginner who must maintain a course while hoisting the sails at the other end of the boat.
Overall, everything was fine
Mickaël and Julien, who jointly manage Sweet Pirate's Borgnefesse, were very accommodating and friendly before, during, and after the charter. The preparation and handover were extremely easy and seamless; I was delighted with the experience. The boat is a lovely little sailboat that sails well and easily. The equipment on board is simple and basic, perfectly adequate for us. We also included the inflatable kayak that serves as a tender, which made accessing ports and cruising easier. Thank you, Julien, Mickaël, and Sweet Pirate!
Great experience with the rental of this nice little boat! The reservation was very easy, and the owners are really cool and available. No bad surprises, everything went perfectly. I recommend without hesitation!
